Welcome ignatius
I used to do 1/72 scale when I was younger. Now with my old eyes I stick to the larger scales. Nice to have you aboard and hope to see some of your work soon.

Hello Ignatius, and welcome to Armorama. I am looking forward to seeing some photos of the tiger when you get a chance. This should be quite a chore to build the interior in such a small scale. I could never be able to see it well enough to work in that scale.

Welcome to Armorama Ignatius. Thats quite a goal you have set yourself with the Tiger.
As you do build Braille scale (1/72 & 1/76 scale armour), why not join the
Miniature Magic campaign?
